Is having a big crowd the only way to have a great event? Not really. You can have a great event even with a small number of people.  What matters more is the quality of the people attending.

It's important to focus on the people who will be most invested in the event and get the most out of it.  Have you ever wondered how to make things work when they don’t go as planned? What if the key is in how you handle tough situations?  In this episode, I talk to Lynne Fiscelli who uses the Referral Mastery System really well.
